    In this thread it was made clear that the Seattle Jewish Center shooter was a convert to Christianity...
    And that's why he attacked a Jewish center, saying his motive was vengence for Muslims 'killed' by the USA?

    Anyways...
    Adrian, I actually did not know the origin of the phrase, and I certainly don't agree with the idea of surveillence, nor the idea that Muslims suddenly become violent.

    I think, in the case of Mr. Haq, it was more of a sort of individual anger and revenge thing, fueled by religion, viewing America as the Great Satan, etc.

    For this fellow, I will wait to see what the evidence turns up.

    Goofball...I am going to assume you're kidding.

    I'm guessing his complete insanity as described by so many who knew him?

    Or perhaps it was just a plot to make Muslims look bad, after all, he had clearly converted to Christianity before (still not as crazy as the evil Muslim conspiracy though). Perhaps it was "sudden crusade syndrome" but he got Muslim and Christian mixed up.

    Any way you look at it, the "sudden jihad syndrome" thesis is not holding up.

    Kidding? Moi?



    I am simply offering a theory that, based on the information at hand, has every bit as much plausability as that of the original poster.

    That is to say, not very much...

    I guess he was Morman then since he lived in Utah, right?
    I have no idea. He's from Bosnia which has large Orthodox, Catholic, and Muslim populations. I'm not assuming what he is.

    Sounds more mental than anything. However, I've heard crazier things than revenge against a country that allowed them as refugees.

    Well not everyone in Utah is mormon, and since mormonism doesn't promote violence I am guessing he probably was not, although I could be wrong.

    Yea I remember that, the girl that was killed supposedly went to my school. Crime in St. George is definently rising, there was a freeway chase a couple weeks ago that ended in a drug bust,and I have also seen some graffiti, which is new for a small town like this one.

    I just heard him described as a Bosnian Muslim but they said there was no direct indication that religion was a cause….
